As the school prepares to celebrate its 50th Anniversary Gala in less than two weeks, I learned that there was a last minute design project that needed tending to: a 40-page, full color, magazine. A special 50th anniversary edition, no less…. and we had a week to pull it off. Could it be accomplished? I was doubtful. But, there’s something to be said of working under pressure—the adrenaline kicks in and you just concentrate on the job at hand. We’re closing in on the final product now and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Whew. ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/achieving-the-impossible/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/poppies-take-the-prize/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=poppies-take-the-prize http://www.hammilldesign.com/poppies-take-the-prize/#comments Mon, 13 May 2013 01:17:50 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1767 Berkshire Botanical Garden‘s magazine, Cuttings. Working with a new client and under an extreme deadline, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Fortunately, we had instant chemistry and the design progressed seamlessly. With the project to the printer in record time, we were patting ourselves on the back for a job well done! Oh, and the poppies took the prize for the cover image! (It was definitely my favorite!)      ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/poppies-take-the-prize/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/sneak-peek-berkshire-botanical-garden/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sneak-peek-berkshire-botanical-garden http://www.hammilldesign.com/sneak-peek-berkshire-botanical-garden/#comments Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:14:51 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1758 Berkshire Botanical Garden’s next edition of “Cuttings.” I’ve been getting my hands dirty, digging through the Garden’s library of images for the perfect cover.  Here are my favorites… will have to wait and see which one takes the prize! ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/sneak-peek-berkshire-botanical-garden/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/sneak-peek-details/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sneak-peek-details http://www.hammilldesign.com/sneak-peek-details/#comments Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:24:19 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1719 Details on the redesign of her website and advertising. We’re just getting started… but thought I’d share a sneak peek at where we’re headed. Carole is an amazingly talented woman: not only does she run a successful interior design business, but she also owns an amazing shop in the village of Egremont, MA. It’s loaded with unique accessories, artwork and furniture that can’t help but inspire your space in some way. Her energy, talent, creativity and honest approach to design has made my job so much fun. ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/sneak-peek-details/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/creative-pot-luck/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=creative-pot-luck http://www.hammilldesign.com/creative-pot-luck/#comments Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:46:22 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1721 Berkshire Mountain Distillers) mixed up pre-dinner cocktails, the Tesoros (Ooma Tesoro’s) prepared a delicious multi-course dinner and Doria Pollinger (HR Zeppelin) added the perfect finish to the evening with her decadent chocolates. I designed and printed the menus and our gracious hosts pulled it all together in their beautiful home. Host, Eric Korenman, photographed the evening (his beautiful work is below). The result was an unforgettable experience that lasted until the wee hours of the night. An amazing event and I look forward to the next! ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/creative-pot-luck/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/sweet-greetings/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sweet-greetings http://www.hammilldesign.com/sweet-greetings/#comments Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:01:47 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1706 Design Mom), the similar cards we created last year were such a hit, we couldn’t resist making them again.

Their handcrafted marinara sauce has been capturing lots of attention as it sits smartly on store shelves across New England. Even Martha Stewart has taken notice! The Tesoros’ passion for their product was infectious. At our initial meeting, the creative gears immediately started spinning. I think I was as excited about the future of this sauce as they were!  As we continue to develop their new collateral, please enjoy a tiny glimpse at what’s to come and while you wait for more, go out and buy some marinara! ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/sneak-peek-ooma-tesoros/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/the-field-guide/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-field-guide http://www.hammilldesign.com/the-field-guide/#comments Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:50:55 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1613 Berkshire School. The past year was spent researching, developing concepts, scouring thousands of photos and ultimately designing a book that I titled “The Field Guide to Life Under the Mountain.” Nestled in Buck Valley, at the base of Mount Everett, the School has a unique relationship with its surroundings which served as the inspiration for the book. Designed to provide prospective students with necessary information (as a Field Guide is expected to do), the book also features post-its, handwritten notes, and fold-out pages filled with collected photographs which bring the guidebook to life and add a personal touch. ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/the-field-guide/feed/ 0 http://www.hammilldesign.com/berkshire-school-in-a-nutshell/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=berkshire-school-in-a-nutshell http://www.hammilldesign.com/berkshire-school-in-a-nutshell/#comments Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:14:49 +0000 hammilldesign http://www.hammilldesign.com/?p=1594 Berkshire School asked me to design their new admissions viewbook last year. And when they later presented the challenge to first (and quickly) design an accompanying package (designed for travel), I was on board immediately. Simultaneously we worked on both projects, keeping in mind that while these materials would be used in different ways, they should work together to brand the School. With both projects now complete, I’m excited to finally present the results.First: the travel package. Instead of lugging heavy viewbooks to school fairs across the country (and abroad), Berkshire’s admissions team is now armed with these smart and comprehensive packets. The folder (sneak peek posted here) contains informational inserts which can be customized as needed. Graphic and informative, these inserts provide everything you ever wanted to know about Berkshire School – in a nutshell. All in all, I think life on the road just got a little bit easier. ]]> http://www.hammilldesign.com/berkshire-school-in-a-nutshell/feed/ 0
